    Hey guys, I'm getting into air ride. I understand most of the concepts. I've bought a lot of parts already. The only things I don't quite understand yet are the specs on the air compressors. I need a compressor that I can mount below the bed (in the elements). I'm only running two bags in the rear right now (airlift dominator D2600 dual ports). I am going to run a 5 gallon tank with a 115/140 psi switch. I am running 3/8 valves and line. I want to be able to lift it every 10-15 minutes with no problems. I'm okay with running two compressors. I'd prefer to run a factory alternator. Can anyone make a recommendation? I was thinking of running Viair compressor(s) because they are such a well-established company, but I don't know what model to get. Thanks.

    -Nick
